[chevrolangels]

!!!!!!!!!! On The Head of a Pin is probably one of my top 5 favorite eps of all fkn time dude. just. UGH. It’s on another L E V E L. god I gotta watch it again. if u feel so inclined maybe u wanna wax poetic about it??????? 😬😬😬😬😬😬😬

did i pull up this ep up on Netflix so i could appropriately respond to this ask? U BETTER beliEVE

buckle up kiddos, cuz we’re going INTO IT

-Okay but the opening scene? cas looking hella gorgeous and badass and then the slow pan out to reveal the wings??? *chef’s kiss*

-THE WINGS TITLE CARD

-also the episode title. spn fully was like ‘yeah we have angels now so we’re gonna make pun titles and u can’t stop us’

-impala goes nyoooooom

-SAM DRIVING!!!!

-’i’m tired of burying friends, sam’ 🥺 

-a completely done ‘oh c’mon!’ being dean’s immediate reaction to seeing another all-powerful supernatural being in his motel room

[side note, i just finished watching the wire and when this actor popped up i was like OMG URIEL and my parents were like ‘wtf are you talking about’]

-dean calling cas ‘cas’

-cas’s ridiculously gravelly voice

-uriel snapping at cas when he tries to empathize with them and dean clocking it right away

-dean’s face when he realizes they’re asking him to torture alastair

-sam’s ‘DAMMIT’ after the angels whoosh dean away

AND THEY EXPECT US NOT TO SHIP IT????? 

-alastair being genuinely the creepiest villain spn has ever had

-alastair telling dean he left part of himself back in the pit aka confirming his worst fear

-the reveal alastair also tortured john

-jared/gen content!!!!

PAIN PAIN PAIN ™ 

-dean still being able to dream but his dreaming turned to how he could get revenge on alastair 🥺 

-cas being visibly Shooketh hearing dean start the torture

-alastair still being a Sassy Mofo while under torture (remember when spn had good demon villains?)

-this hot as hell sam/ruby scene 🥵 

-that one quote that i can’t find right now where jensen was like ‘christopher heyerdahl as alastair truly terrified me’

-TEH BREKAING OF THE SEAL

-THE SHATTERING OF THE LIGHT

-ANNA

[second side note, i wrote a reverse!verse fic where cas and anna were the hunter brother and sister and i based a lot of their scenes off this ep 💕]

‘what you’re feeling...it’s called doubt.’

-ANNA HOLDING CAS’S HAND

-cas looking devastated when he sends anna away

-THE REVELATION DEAN BROKE THE FIRST SEAL THEREFORE KICKSTARTING THE APOCALYPSE AND DEAN WANTING TO BELIEVE ITS A LIE

-‘AS HE BREAKS, SO SHALL IT BREAK’

-CAS TO THE RESCUE

-i literally want to add all the gifs possible of cas’s badassery in this ensuing fight but imma limit myself to one

-spn forgetting its own canon that there’s a random latin spell to expel angels from their vessels?????? ok

-SAM THE MOTHEREFFIN BADASS (but yikes demonblood!sammy)

sam: now i can kill

cas: *is shook*

-THIS SHOT

“i’m considering disobedience....for the first time....I feel....”

“Tell me what to do.” “Like the old days? No. It’s time to think for yourself.”

-CAS SEEING THE PIPE AND IMMEDIATELY CONNECTING IT MY BOY IS A GENIUS

-“strange how a leaky pipe can undo the work of angels, when we ourselves, are supposed to be the agents of fate”

AN ICONICALLY SAVAGE LINE THANK U BEN EDLUND

-uriel realizing o shit he done fucked up

-the first reveal of an angel blade??? i think yes!!!! [dramatic commercial break]

-AND OF COURSE

-DESTIEL HUNTER HUSBANDS IN THE HOSPITAL

[aplogies for the pinterest screencap but i couldn’t find these scenes on my blog bc tumblr’s search function sucks dick]

-dean tearfully asking if he really started the apocalypse and castiel having to tell him yes

-castiel assuring dean it wasn’t his fault, but fate

-and that he is the righteous man who is the only one who can also save the world 😭🥺😫 

-dean sharing that’s he’s completely overwhelmed and frightened and out of his depth 

-cas acknowledging he’s just a pawn and isn’t told much

-overall them just being completely open and honest with each other about their insecurities and fears

-and of course
